Versatile Membrane Panel and its Production Process

With the increasing updating of electronic equipment, the design of membrane panel must also meet various application scenarios. The most obvious thing is that the membrane panel has changed from the original difficult to install LEDs to the newest backlight membrane switch. The choice of the circuit material of the membrane panel. The overlay panel on the Membrane panle can have screen printing, printing and digital printing membrane panel. In the choice of Membrane panel material, the material not only has antibacterial, UV resistance, scratch resistance, and even extreme environment resistance. Membrane panel is also widely used in various electronic products due to its small mass and small size. When customers pursue cost-effectiveness, they can even use silicone rubber keypad as the membrane panel.

membrane panel performance is very good, in order to understand this kind of products better, we need to understand the details of the product.

What is a membrane panel?

Membrane panel is an electronic accessory that opens and closes the printed circuit by changing the pressure of the button. The circuit includes silver flex circuit, flex copper circuit and printing circuit board. Its Graphic overlay as the top material of the membrane panel can usually be made of Polyester (PET) ), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and Polycarbonate (PC), the respective performance can refer to the article - The Materials And Characteristics Of The Membrane Switch Panel. Although Membrane panel is a small part of many devices, it is also the most important operator interfaces, or man-machine interfaces.

The advantages of Membrane Panel are:

- Customizable: Membrane panel can customize the most suitable products according to customer needs and use environment.

- Waterproof performance: Membrane panel can achieve IP rating NEMA4, even some membrane panels can achieve IP68.

- Sealed structure: Membrane panel is composed of adhesive tape and Polyester material, and generally can achieve IP64 or higher, so it is easier to clean and disinfect.

- Small size: Membrane panel generally has a thickness between 0.5-2mm, which is very thin. This shows that a lot of space can be saved.

Membrane Panel production process is:

1. Identify customer needs. For any product design, we need to understand the needs of customers clearly before we can customize products. So this step is essential.

2. Brainstorm. According to customer needs, product application and the experience of Niceone-tech engineering department, a complete drawing is customized to produce a membrane switch and panel. The experience of the engineering department can analyze the feasibility of the drawings, find out whether there are potential problems and avoid the potential problems of the original drawings.

3. Confirm drawings and produce samples. Niceone-tech membrane switch factory will develop tracking files according to the drawings to quickly produce Membrane panel samples.

4. QC testing of samples. After the sample is completed, the size, electrical function and color error detection are required to ensure that the product is consistent with the drawing.

5. Production of bulk goods: After the samples are passed, we can customize more complete production materials according to ISO standards to ensure that the bulk goods are consistent with the samples.

Niceone-tech is a professional membrane keyboard supplier in China. We provide customized services, have a complete management system, and constantly learn advanced production technology. We aim to provide high-quality products with accurate delivery and timely response to satisfy customers.
